Itinerary description
D26. Kilkenny, Laois & Tipperary Marilyns, Eire: Rossmore Hill 336m (Laois), Cullenagh Mountain 317m (Laois), Knockmannon Hill 313m (Kilkenny), Killoshulan 349m (Kilkenny) and Knockamuck 205m (Tipperary).
On many of the peak bagging/outdoor websites I perused for this trip I noted there were very few route descriptions regarding ascents of the lesser known Irish Marilyns. This also applied to the availability of gpx files. I will therefore add relevant information and files that hopefully will provide assistance to future hikers/peakbaggers.
A long day of driving around three counties hiking the last five Marilyns East of the M7 & M8.
Knocknamuck 340m, North of Commons, Tipperary, Eire (Marilyn).
The start point is on a back road just North of Commons and it is the entrance to this wind turbined hill. There is room for a couple of cars. The route is obvious, short but there is no discernible summit. I took the high point to be a high grassy bank on the left next to the track with a weird concrete mast trailer on it. The views are good.
Parking: Entrance to the wind turbine farm.
Route: Easy 500m track to an unmarked summit with good views.
Statistics: 500m with 18m done in 8mins.
Maps: Outdoor Active Irish Topo Maps.
